Hi what's the light output power vs a regular 55W bulb?.... Im looking to install as drl and High Beam for an Acura RDX 2013.

I replaced my fog light bulbs in a Touareg, output is good but very white light. I don't see these bulbs good for a primary driving light.

I don't have a lot of experience with the HID lighting but I can tell you that this will power a 8,000K bulb. now if you bulb is a 55w bulb it will not be as bright as it should. So it is best to make sure the wattage's match if you want the maximum output.

Stock bulbs, 9005 for high beam and 9006 for low beam. If you want better light output though, I'd recommend looking at the HIR9012 bulb to replace the 9006 and 9011 to replace the 9005. They just require some small amounts of trimming to the top tab using a nail clipper. Lots of information around the web about this upgrade.

Uha they have 2 options:35w and 55w...You must look your O.E.M light bulb w? ;)

I have a 35w but I have the high & low beam HID bulbs and it would not work for the High beams on mine, I could only get low beams.

The Cree bulbs at Home Depot are *outstanding* and they throw around 450 lumens. They have 60w A19 equivalents too that throw a lot more than that.

60 refers to high beam wattage; 60 is standard and as high as you should go in a replacement bulb without installing a relay. 55 is normal low beam wattage. Stay with a 60/55 watt replacement bulb for highway use. In a good headlight unit this will be bright enough and you will not risk blowing fuses or damaging a switch. Hope this helps.

Depends on the car. Normally you have two bulbs,high and low.for me my high turns on with my low so they are still there but my highs aren't his. If you want 100% his you'd have to buy 2 sets,one for low, and one that matches your high beam config

The bulbs will handle 55W but no guarantee on longevity as we highly suggest to use 35W HID Conversion kit system.

That is how you would think it would work but it doesn't. I tried that using my AEV programmer and high beams would flicker. I read on JW Speakers website and sounds like the problem is too much power going through the anti flicker assembly itself. DRL's set on high beam flicker. High beams used normally no flicker.

I bought some eBay led headlights that were rated at 150w. The results were not good. Put an HID kit in there instead and it was easily 3 times bbrighter , however the spread is horrible but I have yet to try to aim the headlights. I think that a stock halogen bulb with high output might give you the best balance. Best of luck. I don't regret the hids though, serious upgrade

Hi Harold, I really donj't know. The bulb I used was the energy saver (the spiral kind) that give off 60 watts and only uses 13. Hope this helps. Best Regards, Dave

If you need the size of the bulb check oriellys. If your looking for a god hid set up then sdx is a good choice. I've had mine for almost a year, everybody wants a set.

Depends on the car I believe... My car has two sets of bulbs, one is low the other high. Since I added the Opt7 low beams, I have not been in a situation where I have needed my high beams at all, they are that good.I believe they do have High beam replacement though if you felt they were needed. Just stick the the 5000k which is the pure white... If you go higher or lower, you will get a lot of reflection when it snows or rains.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

rockauto.com website lists 9005 bulb as low beam/high beam,hope this helps.

Also, I prefer 35w because 55 gets WAY TOO HOT and will melt the inside of your light housing, I use them in a crotchrocket so there is no ventilation to draw out the heat from a 55w, ur best bet is to google pics of the lights so u can best see what u want
